There’s no stopping it. I can smell the end of my clerkship. It feels like we only started yesterday. Looking back to the months that passed, I can’t believe it’s almost over and soon, we’ll be wearing that white coat we have dreamed of for years. Daryl, Karen and I went to the tailor today to fit the intern’s uniform that we had made. It feels surreal to wear the coat on top of my uniform. It’s exciting to look forward to what’s going to be in store for me starting May.

But before everything else, of course there’s the summer vacation we’re all looking forward to. So far, I have Isabela/Ilocos, Pangasinan and Sagada in my itinerary. If I had it my way, I’d spend the whole April traveling, or in beach houses, battling it out with my friends on nice ping pong tables, or drinking away under the starlit sky. But alas. Money is still the name of the game. At times like this, I wish I were the daughter of a popular scion with a bottomless bank account. But then again I wouldn’t have entered med school then if my hands were full of businesses to run right? Just a few nights to go! I can’t wait!
